Things to do in Estonia

Things to do in Estonia include visiting the forests – nearly half of the country is forested – hopping to one of the 1,500 islands, visiting small towns with local culture on display, and uncovering the captivating city of Tallinn – a historical Unesco town where previous influences from Germany, Sweden and Russia can still be seen today.

Estonia can easily be combined with a holiday to the other Baltic States of Latvia and Lithuania, and is only a short ferry ride away from Finland.
